* [[Action Bomb]]: Spike Bombs and their higher-level forms. If a Spike Bomb's health goes low enough, it explodes. Items adjacent to it are destroyed, and if you're next to it you'll be knocked down to 1 HP, unless you have a Blast Shield equipped. It doesn't even give you experience points if it blows up. In the case of regular Spike Bombs, they stop moving when they're down to 23 HP or less (out of 50), and they go boom at 10 HP or less.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: In the third game, one of the villagers' names is Catherine. {{spoiler|Justified because her father was a foreigner. In the [[Tournament Arc]] it is also revealed that Eagle's name was Johnny, and he has a friend named Carl.}}
